On the more serious note, the application is on behalf of my mother (who is the applicant), her husband (obviously, by being a spouse) and my grandfather (dependent on her health, accomodation and financial basis). So who is the Eu citizen residing in the UK? Who is the failed asylum seeker? I assu...

Failed assylum, driving offences, etc. It all depends how well you present your case. thank you ANP.

A further question, if you may. UKBA state the following It is important not to test overall intentions in assessing applications for an EEA family permit (EUN2.4 What are the requirements for issuing an EEA family permit) http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/guidance/ecg/eun/eun2/#header2...

Adverse immigration history

Hi guys, I have a question relating to the adverse immigration history of one of the applicant for EEA FP residence permit. One of the non-EEA family members has been a failed asylum seeker and an overstayer in the past. The case was appealed at the Immigration tribunal and despite finding the witne...

I would suggest that if you have contacted the UKBA, have been issued instructions and followed them, then you need to wait. Multiple phone calls and emails may end up confusing the situation. I sympathize and hope you are with your mother soon. Hi EU Smile ukba is at disarray - I have in total tal...

self-employment guide for EEA1

Hi gurus and experts

there are several applicants that have issues proving their SE status due to the ambiguity of the UKBA guidelines. Is it possible to create a sticky note and perhaps develop the subject further to help?

Thanks

Patience is a virtue. It also helps when waiting for decisions by the HO. One can exercise treaty rights in several way (even in parallel). As long as this is continuous, you should have no problems. Thanks Jambo, this virtual, however, as the saying goes, is seldom found not only in men, but in wo...

No. You are not missing anything. However EEA1 applications are dealt relatively fast (about 4 weeks) so you should know where you stand fairly quickly. Unfortunately, for self employed, it is a bit more tricky to get the right documentations but hopefully this time it will be OK. Thank you again J...

I'm not aware of any rule the HO has which states the return the application if asked for a passport within xx number of days. Ideally, they should locate your package, record your passport details and send it back to you but if it still sits in the backlog, they might repeat their doing from last ...

Hi ppl I am Irish and I apply for EEA1. This entails no confirmation letters and a wait for up to 6 months. Of course, as they advertise, one is free to ask for a possport if faced with travel arrangements. I called today and asked for an update (I sent documents 2 weeks ago). A lady told me that no...

I can't comment on the evidence required for self employed as I'm not too familiar with that but you might get a quicker handling of your case by reapplying with a strong cover letter. EEA1 applications are dealt relatively quick. Probably quicker than a complaint. How quick did you get the "this i...

Lodging EEA: foreign post (embassy) vs. in-country (tourist)

Hey,

is there a difference in treatment of the EEA- family related application at the embassy versus in-country? Is the person allowed to stay while the UKBA consider the application (if the entry clearance lapses)?

Thank you
